Too Much Screen Time? ⎚
I think I’ve been getting too much screen time; and it isn’t all my bicycle computer. Or maybe too much time in the sun wearing cheap-o sunglasses?
My good sunglasses broke not quite a month ago; and they couldn’t be repaired. They were prescription lenses, too; and cost an arm and a leg. There’s an optical shop a short walk from home; but they couldn’t make me a new pair of those glasses without a current prescription. The only copy I could find is about four years old; and I haven’t been able to get hold of my ophthalmologist (the clinic is in the process of relocating) to get a current copy.
So there I was, limping along with a pair of toy sunglasses. They were better than nothing; but not really suited for several hours in bright sunlight. Then, today, they broke! So I had to go for a pair of regular, aka non-prescription, sunglasses. I chose a pair of Ray-Ban. I remember seeing commercials for them on TV when I was a kid, so the brand has been around quite a while.
All My Screens 💻
So, what are all my screens? The Garmin, of course; but is 8-10 hours a week too much screen time for a bicycle computer? I haven’t had a TV since 2006; and, as I’m retired, I’m not staring at a computer screen at work all day.
I suppose my laptop is the culprit — there’s all the website editing, and I’ve become rather addicted to YouTube. I’ve developed the bad habit of viewing while I eat; and I also like to tune in to something while I do my hand exercises. About two weeks ago I found A Night in Vienna; and it’s terrific! Sometimes I listen to it twice a day; and that can add up to too much screen time.

ABOUT ME
I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.
I live in New Orleans; and retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
